===Social spacing===
Adult pandas are generally [[Solitary animal|solitary]] and [[Territory (animal)|territorial]]. Individuals mark their [[home range]] or territorial boundaries with urine, [[faeces]] and secretions from the [[anal gland|anal]] and surrounding glands. Scent-marking is usually done on the ground, with males marking more often and for longer periods.<ref name="roberts+gittleman" /> In China's [[Wolong National Nature Reserve]], the home range of a radio-collared female was {{cvt|0.94|km2}}, while that of a male was {{cvt|1.11|km2}}.<ref name="Reid1991">{{cite journal|last1=Reid|first1=D.
